The cardinal, a perennial symbol of signs of brightness and spring during the cold dark winter months, can also symbolize the remembrance of a lost loved one. So whether you want to feel the presence of a loved one on Christmas morning, or simply want a pop of color for your tree, this little bird ornament will brighten your tree with a warm crimson glow. These ornaments measure approximately 2 and 3/4 “ tall.

These ornaments are packed in a small 3.5” box with fiberfill padding and an insert card detailing the care and history of the ornaments. Please Note: Sets may be packed in a single box.

Ornaments are In Stock Only, meaning what is on the site is what we currently have in stock, with stock updates on Fridays at 6 PM EST. Treetopper updates will be the last Friday of each month.

Each mold, made out of brass and gemstones, is dipped into the surface of molten tin. A thin layer of tin solidifies on the mold, making a perfect replica in relief. We then trim and hand-paint each ornament and mount a wire with an eye loop for a hook. The result is a sparkling, highly-detailed ornament that give the illusion of being set with gemstones.

Because the ornaments are made from pure tin, they will keep their shine and brilliance for many years to come. They should be stored in their boxes during the off season in order to keep the dust off. If they get dusty (often appearing cloudy), they can be gently cleaned with a dry paint brush. The ornaments are delicate, but tend to bend instead of break (you can often fix them by gently bending them back into place). That being said, please handle them with care.

Although we strive to deliver only the nicest ornaments, they are still handmade. Please allow for some idiosyncrasies in the casting and paint job. However, if you have any problems with your ornament, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
